Eliza's Weed Pot thread

[unixbigot]

Thank you Chris for the lovely Campher Laurel practice wood! I've turned two tiny pots - this out of one piece you gave me. I cut a foot in the middle, then cut that in half and had enough for the two pots. They are about 3" high

Wow, you didn't waste any time... great stuff.

(Half of appearing good is knowing where to hide the failures)

You're off to a great start, Eliza. And Ad hit the nail right on its head.

A single thread about your weed pots could get huge pretty quick. But it'll be good to see your progress as you refine the shapes. Eventually, you may want to post a new thread for each piece, as most of us do.

I reckon they're called weed pots, because weeds don't need water. Flowers do, and vases work best with waterproof liners. The easiest way I've found (so far) is to provide a plastic or glass jar or "test tube" in a mating hole.

Cheers,
Joe

I like your forms Eliza. They are not the same ole thing. Never mind Ern. The wood is pretty, and you are off to a good start. Wish I had some artistic ability, but am just a technician.

Eliza,

My favorite is your first one, before you took the mount off the bottom.

The concave curve going down to the ridge and then the convex curve to the bottom was simple and lovely.

Unfortunately the bottom curve was altered when you took off the mount. I do understand that there was not much room to get a tool in there.

You are learning a lot, very quickly.

Paul

Apologies Eliza, my post was out of line.
